This, per Wharton, would lead to a \u201ccrowding out\u201d effect over the coming years as more loan money is taken away from productive business\/private sector investments and instead consumed by government debt. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li>Speaking of which:<br \/>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A graphic is worth a thousand words! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7ekF0Wxwvm\">pic.twitter.com\/7ekF0Wxwvm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rep.

I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s plenty of Biden foreign policy stupidity ahead to rail against, but in this case it&#8217;s not significantly different from Trump policy.\n<li>Minimum wage hikes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/minimum-wage-hikes-and-crime\">= more crime<\/a>:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>A surprising body of research links increases in the minimum wage to increases in criminal offending by those most likely to lose jobs as a result of the wage hike. One analysis concluded that raising the federal minimum to $15 could create crime costs of up to $2.5 billion\u2014a bill that would be borne disproportionately by the very people whom the wage hike is meant to help.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum wage\u2019s economic trade-offs are well known. It raises the take-home pay of some, while causing others\u2014particularly teens, young adults, and less-skilled workers\u2014to lose their jobs. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that a $15 minimum would boost 17 million workers\u2019 earnings by 11.8 percent, on average, but would also cost from 1 million to 3 million jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Higher wages could make working more appealing than illegal activity for some. For others, put out of work by the hike, losing a job heightens the risk that they will go on to commit both property and violent crimes. After all, the people most likely to feel the economic downsides of a minimum-wage hike, in the form of lost jobs\u2014the young\u2014are also among those most likely to commit such crimes. Youths aged 16 to 24 make up just 12 percent of the population but were 23 percent of those arrested as of 2019; they account for a full third of those making less than $15 an hour. The CBO estimated that 16- to 19-year-olds alone would account for half of the job lost if the minimum wage reaches $15.<\/p>\n<p>In one paper from last year, researchers evaluated decades of data to consider the relationship between minimum-wage hikes and crime among 16- to 24-year-olds, finding that the wage hikes tend to correlate with increased property crimes, particularly larcenies\u2014a sign that some unemployed people decide to earn their keep through theft rather than finding another job. Minimum-wage hikes also lead to increases in disorderly-conduct arrests, indicating an increase in loitering and other idleness among teens and young adults. Based on this data, the researchers estimate that hiking the minimum to $15 would lead to an additional 423,000 property crimes, creating the aforementioned $2.5 billion in damages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li>A higher minimum wage brings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/personal-finance\/high-cost-using-minimum-wage-form-welfare\">other costs<\/a>:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Along with price increases, employers may reduce hours, and Belman and Wolfson note that \u201c[i]t has long been suggested that employers may respond to minimum wage increases by reducing spending on training, fringe benefits and working conditions valued by employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another important finding is that employers often respond to higher mandated wages by replacing low wage workers with those who have more education, skills and experience which make them more productive. This adjustment may have little effect on the observable employment numbers, but the effect is devastating for those who are replaced. Employers can be forced to pay higher wages, but they can\u2019t be forced to hire or retain employees whose contributions don\u2019t match the higher wage.<\/p>\n<p>Some studies (see Clemens 2019) suggest that the pace of job creation slows when mandated wages rise. The increases also accelerate automation, which reduces the number of entry-level jobs and further penalizes those whom the increases are meant to help. In coming years, the combined effect of substitution, slower job creation, and accelerated automation is likely to be a growing core of workers, many of whom are young and poorly educated, who are unemployed and unemployable.<\/p>\n<p>Social activists and progressive editorial boards now regard the minimum wage as another welfare program that can reduce the costs of programs like Medicaid and food stamps, and can reduce inequality. But the minimum wage is very poorly targeted for these purposes. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that \u201croughly 40 percent of workers directly affected by the $15 option in 2025 would be members of families with incomes more than three times the federal poverty level.\u201d If the goal is to aid low-wage households, rather than teenagers and other part-time workers in middle-income and affluent families, expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit would be far more effective, because it is designed to aid the working poor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li>Sweden proves <a href=\"https:\/\/citizen.co.za\/news\/opinion\/opinion-columns\/2443650\/lockdowns-dont-save-lives-and-sweden-is-all-the-proof-you-need\/\">lockdowns don&#8217;t save lives<\/a>:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p> History will record Covid-induced lockdowns as the product of pseudoscientific ideology, manifestations of an unprecedented mass hysteria and drummed-up fear.<\/p>\n<p>When Sweden strayed from the herd of nations hellbent on lockdown, it suffered intense vilification. The modellers who agitated for lockdown as a profoundly necessary step opined that veering from the mainstream playbook would see Sweden suffer some 100,000 excess deaths, double its normal annual death toll. Daily articles, notably in The Guardian, berated the country or the murder that would surely ensue if it didn\u2019t rejoin the herd.<\/p>\n<p>A lot was riding on this. In taking up the lockdown baton from China, the world was conducting a dangerous experiment. That experiment involved tearing up the public health policy guidelines for respiratory virus epidemics of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the US\u2019s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and many others.<\/p>\n<p>These guidelines were the results of a century of evidence and deliberation that was summarily ignored when the virus arrived. Detailed statements of principle governed the evidential processes required to revise them. These too were ignored.<\/p>\n<p>The basis for all of this was the assurance of the WHO\u2019s Bruce Aylward that China\u2019s lockdown had contained its epidemic. This in turn was based on speculation that everyone was susceptible to Covid-19 and that, without lockdown, exponential growth of disease and death was inevitable. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Snip.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But Sweden did not lock down, becoming the one of the most alluring control experiments the world has ever seen. And it did not suffer 100,000 excess deaths. Not even close. Instead, this is what happened: <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/citizen.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image001-768x438.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a lockdown fan drawing trend lines that suggest Sweden had 8000 excess deaths or a skeptic concluding there were none because of a build-up of very susceptible people from an abnormally low death rate in 2019, this reality dealt a devastating blow to the lockdown theory and the models used to justify lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19, it turned out, was not only far less deadly than modellers had predicted, but they couldn\u2019t credit this to the lockdowns they\u2019d promoted. Sweden clearly showed that failure to lock down did not constitute genocide. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li>Federal judge Drew Tipton bans <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2021\/02\/judge-indefinitely-bans-bidens-100-day-deportation-moratorium\/\">Biden&#8217;s illegal alien deportation moratorium<\/a>.\n<li>The favorite hobby of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Joe Biden\u2019s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2021\/02\/what-kind-of-bully-harasses-nuns\/?utm_source=Sailthru&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=NR%20Daily%20Monday%20through%20Friday%202021-02-22&#038;utm_term=NRDaily-Smart\">targeting Little Sisters of the Poor<\/a>.

But the American people\u2019s ingenuity and creativity \u2014 and the very nature of how our planet and energy systems work \u2014 mean all is not lost.<\/p>\n<p>Under Biden\u2019s attempts to \u201cphase out\u201d natural gas, petroleum, and coal, the prices we pay for energy will go up.<\/p>\n<p>This should be no surprise to Biden and his political allies, since costs have soared everywhere \u201cgoing green\u201d has been tried. Californians are paying 30% more for electricity than they did 10 years ago. In Denmark, where wind energy became a priority in the mid-1990s, prices have more than doubled.<\/p>\n<p>Because everything we do, from the moment our alarms go off every morning to when we turn off the lights at night, depends on energy, these higher prices will be a heavy burden for American families. Expensive energy means producing, marketing, transporting, and selling goods and services will also become more expensive, creating less a ripple effect than a tidal wave.<\/p>\n<p>The rising cost of living will hurt the poor the most. Low-income Americans already spend a higher percentage of their paychecks on electricity and gas, and they have less disposable income to afford higher prices for necessities.<\/p>\n<p>Coupled with the tax increases that would be needed to further subsidize unreliable wind and solar energy, Biden\u2019s plans would cripple the poor and even put their health in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>An equally critical consequence of moving away from fossil fuels is the destabilization of our national security. Since becoming the world\u2019s dominant energy producer and a net energy exporter, America has a stronger influence in global negotiations and advancing the cause of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in large part to America\u2019s growing influence over OPEC and Russia, multiple Middle Eastern nations have committed to normalizing relations with Israel, an unprecedented development National Review described as \u201csomething suspiciously resembling peace.\u201d It\u2019s the reason President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize four times.<\/p>\n<p>America used to go to war over energy, but now we\u2019re actively loosening the grip of unstable, totalitarian countries not just on oil markets, but on the global balance of power.
